Brunson Hanging Tough

[user67765]

Omaha-8

Doyle Brunson is hanging on as he's just found another double up to stay alive. This time the game was Omaha-8 with Brunson's last chips in preflop with {K-Spades}

, but he'd run into the {A-Clubs}

of John Hanson.

The flop was very safe for Hanson when it fell {5-Hearts}

. However Brunson caught running kings with the {K-Clubs}

turn and

river giving him the scoop. He's back to 60,000.

Stud-8

Hasan Habib has been amongst the leaders for the first two days of this H.O.R.S.E. but like a marathon, this event isn't won in the early stages.

Habib has been struggling today as we recently caught him tangling with Chau Giang in a recent Stud-8 hand where the two players switched control of the pot. Giang led on fourth, Habib took over on fifth before Giang led again on sixth. On the river Giang fired again but Habib gave it up.

Giang: (X-X) {A-Diamonds}

(X)
Habib: (X-X) {Q-Spades}

(X)

Giang is up to 300,000 with Habib down to just 170,000.

Ugly Razz Hand Spells End For Smith

[user67765]

Razz

Justin "Boosted J" Smith has been sent to the rail during a hand of Razz against Freddy Deeb.

Smith was already walking away from the table when we ran over to see Smith's ugly Razz board of {4-?}

.

We assume Deeb could better two pair in Razz and collected the pot to send Smith to the rail.
